‘What does it take to achieve even tone skin?’, is a question that many have asked in an effort to unlock healthy-looking skin with a natural even tone. Between endless shop shelves filled with skin care products that claim to help, and various blogs and magazines suggesting the trendiest even tone skin hacks for you to try, there’s so much information around. But even with all the advice available, figuring out what will really work to help you achieve your skin goals, and the factors that may prevent your success, can be hard.
If you’ve been curious about the dos and don’ts to achieve even tone skin, this is the blog for you! We’re unpacking the things you should do and those you should avoid to achieve your glowing, even tone skin goals.
Here are 3 things to avoid to help you achieve beautifully radiant, even tone skin.
Step 1: Avoid fun in the sun without protection
Stepping into the sunshine and soaking up the rays without sun protection is one of the chief causes that leads to an uneven skin tone. So to achieve the even tone skin you desire, avoid direct and prolonged sun exposure without sun protection. This includes whenever you’ll be in indirect sunlight too, such as when you sit next to a window or are driving in a car.
Step 2: Don’t overdo it with sugary & spicy foods
When it comes to the causes of an uneven skin tone, many of us overlook the kitchen as one of the culprits. Certain foods like those with a high sugar content, certain dairy products and food that is spicy can cause redness, pimple and wrinkles, contributing to an uneven skin tone. So to achieve the skin you desire, cut down or cut out certain foods from your diet.
Step 3: Don’t burn the midnight oil
Sleep is essential not only for your general well-being and overall health but for keeping your skin looking and feeling its best too. So avoid overdoing it with late nights and not getting enough sleep, because when you don’t get enough rest, it shows.
So now that you know to avoid these three factors to promote even-toned skin, here are three things you should adopt to get the gorgeous, glowing, even tone skin you seek.
1. Do cater to your skin type
With the different skin types that exist, it’s essential to ensure you use products that are formulated for your specific type, be it dry, oily or combination. So when considering what to use to even skin tone, our Pond’s range includes a variety of effective even tone products to help you achieve the even tone skin goals you seek, no matter your skin type. For example, our Pond’s Perfect Colour Complex Anti Marks Serum Face Cream for dry skin is ideal for nourishing dry skin while also promoting a more even skin tone.
2. Do moisturise
To maintain happy, healthy-looking, radiant, even-toned skin, your skin needs to retain enough moisture to enable it to function at its best. Which is why ensuring you keep your skin hydrated by moisturising daily is an essential part of achieving even tone skin. To do this, you can trust Pond’s Flawless Radiance Derma+ Moisturising Face Cream. The highly moisturising formulation delivers soft, smooth skin with a dewy glow and promotes more even-toned skin.
3. Do exfoliate
Exfoliating helps to promote even tone skin by clearing away old skin cells from the surface of your skin to reveal beautifully bright, smooth and more even-toned skin. While exfoliating is an essential part of an effective skin care routine it’s important to avoid over-exfoliating as it damages your skin. So to incorporate some gentle exfoliation into your routine, try cleansing with our Pond’s Flawless Radiance Even Tone Face Wash with micro-granules. The fine formulation is gentle enough to use every day, with microgranules that gently exfoliate while the rich foam works to moisturise your skin and promote soft, smooth, even-toned skin.
By practising our dos and avoiding our don’ts, you’re well on your way to more even-toned skin. Just be sure to pair our tips with any of our Pond’s skin care products, to reveal your skin’s natural even-tone and radiance.
*In incorporating any new face care product into your regime, it is suggested that you do a patch test behind your ear for at least 24 hours. If any irritation occurs, do not start using the product.
